Pontiac deputies, the Waterford Regional Fire Department and county crash investigators came to the area of Baldwin Road and New York Avenue, where further investigation revealed the man was standing in the middle of Baldwin before being hit.

The 66-year-old Pontiac resident was then transported to McLaren Oakland, where he is listed in critical condition. Deputies report that the man suffered multiple broken bones and serious facial trauma.

One motorist reported seeing the man standing in the roadway, motionless and possibly confused. A car driven by a 30-year-old Pontiac woman struck him as the driver was unable to stop in time. She stopped and spoke with deputies, who report alcohol was not a factor in the crash. They report the man was a resident of an assisted living facility. He was able to talk and was conscious, but he was admitted to a hospital in critical condition.

The incident remains under investigation, say authorities.
